SIngin' In The Rain

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

REFRESHING RAIN - LET'S DANCE

If there is anything that ever makes me feel like running outside and dancing it's rain! Maybe because I grew up on all those old movies where Gene Kelly or Shirley Temple or Maurice Chevalier always seemed to be happily dancing in it. Who knows? All I can tell you is that one of my prized childhood possessions was the yellow rain slicker and hat and galoshes. Oh how I wish I had a picture of me outside in the rain back then dancing around in all the big puddles. This one above will just have to do.

* Wondering
what the heck a "gate"is? This was a phrase popularized by 1940's comedian,
Jerry Colonna, who would holler it out every time he was introduced on the
Bob Hope radio program. It was a friendly salutation to a swing cat (dancer
or swing music enthusiast). Basically, we swing like a gate!
